'The stingray attack, the CPR and medical efforts were all captured on film. 'Steve had this rule that no matter who was injured we had to keep filming,' he said. Once back on Croc One, a second camerman took over so Justin could give Steve mouth-to-mouth - something he continued to do for an entire hour until paramedics took one look at him and declared him dead. Perhaps knowing his injuries were far more serious than suspected, the cameras even caught the heartbreaking moment Steve turned to Justin and calmly said, 'I'm dying.' Those would be his last words. 'As we're motoring back I'm screaming at one of the other crew in the boat to put their hand over the wound and we're saying to him things like, 'Think of your kids, Steve, hang on, hang on, hang on.'' Film footage of their honeymoon, taken by John Stainton, became the first episode of The Crocodile Hunter. Steve and his wife Terri spent their honeymoon trapping crocodiles together. Even if we'd been able to get him into an emergency ward at that moment we probably wouldn't have been able to save him because the damage to his heart was massive,' Justin said. The Crocodile Hunter and related work Irwin and Terri with Wes Mannion, the other cast member of The Crocodile Hunter.
